Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs (preferably organic or free-range)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (good-quality brand like Hellmann’s or Duke’s)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of salt, to taste
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- About 2 tablespoons caviar (sturgeon, trout, or salmon roe)
- Fresh chives, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a large pot. Cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then immediately cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes for perfectly cooked yolks.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Chill for at least 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
- Gently tap each egg on the counter to crack the shell, then peel under running water. Slice each egg in half lengthwise carefully.
- Pop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork or potato masher until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag fitted with a star tip. Top each with about 1/2 teaspoon of caviar and garnish with chopped chives.
Notes
Use an ice bath immediately after boiling to prevent overcooking and green yolk rings. Add caviar just before serving to keep it fresh and shiny. If you don’t have a piping bag, a zip-top bag with a corner cut off or a spoon works well. For a dairy-free version, substitute mayonnaise with avocado or cashew cream.
